Pet Connection

Pet Connection Pet Connection is a family owned business established in 2002. Our aim is to provide for the needs of all pet owners in our area. Looking forward to seeing you

Our store is the largest independent pet store in the area and we believe we have the most comprehensive selection of pet products in Newry & Mourne. Our customers' interests always come first and we sell products based on our customers' needs, not on price or profit percentage. Pet care is a huge field and we continuously train staff and ourselves about as many aspects of pet care as we possibly

can. We listen to our customers and pass on recommendations about different products that work for different conditions. If a customer requests a product that we do not currently stock, we do our best to get it in for them. We deal with both Irish and English suppliers as well as suppliers from as far afield as Germany. Our store is one that we hope customers feel comfortable coming into. You are welcome to come and browse, take the kids to play with the animals or hold a snake, and please do not feel any pressure to buy anything - indeed, several of our customers have commented in the past that it's a bit like taking the kids to the zoo only better, because you don't have to pay an entrance fee. We have a large fish selection as well as all the other sections you would expect to find in a pet shop. We cater for dog, cat, small animal, reptile, fish, cage bird, wild bird, poultry and pigeon. Please feel free to call in and have a look.

🦴 If your dog could write a review...

What would they say about their favourite chew?

Benebones are one of our most popular long-lasting chews because they're:

βœ” Tough enough for determined chewers
βœ” Easy to grip
βœ” Made with real flavours dogs love
βœ” Less messy than many natural chews

Some dogs carry them everywhere.

Some bury them.

Some sleep with them.

And some treat them like a treasured family heirloom.

What's your dog's favourite chew of all time?

🧼 THE MOST IMPORTANT THING MANY PEOPLE FORGET...

Cleaning feeders.

Warm weather means bacteria can multiply quickly.

Our summer routine:

βœ” Empty old food
βœ” Wash feeders weekly
βœ” Refresh bird baths daily
βœ” Remove mouldy food immediately

We love Defence 7 and BioSafe for helping keep feeding stations clean and hygienic.

How often do you clean your feeders?

Be honest... we won't judge πŸ˜…

πŸ“Έ We bought a bird feeder camera...

Anyone else?

Bird feeder cameras let you:

🐦 Identify species
πŸ“Έ Capture photos and videos

🦜 Discover birds you never knew visited

One minute you're topping up sunflower hearts.

The next you're discussing goldfinches like a wildlife documentary presenter.

πŸ₯£ ONE OF THE MOST UNDERRATED GARDEN WILDLIFE PRODUCTS...

A simple shallow ceramic bowl.

Perfect for:

πŸ’§ Fresh water
πŸ› Soaked mealworms
πŸͺ± Live foods
πŸ¦” Hedgehog feeding stations

Unlike lightweight plastic dishes, ceramic bowls stay put in windy weather and are easy to clean.

Birds, hedgehogs, bees and butterflies can all benefit from a simple water source.

πŸš— The most dangerous place for an unrestrained dog...

is inside a moving car.

In a collision, a dog can become a projectile, putting themselves and human passengers at risk.

That's why we always recommend crash-tested travel equipment.

βœ” Keeps your dog secure
βœ” Helps reduce driver distraction
βœ” Tested to recognised safety standards
βœ” Gives peace of mind on every journey

Because we all buckle up.

Why shouldn't our dogs?

πŸ’§ FOOD IS IMPORTANT...

But water can be even more important.

Birds need water to:

πŸ’§ Drink
πŸ› Bathe
πŸͺΆ Maintain healthy feathers
🌑 Stay cool in warm weather

A shallow dish refreshed daily can become the busiest spot in your garden.

🦺 "My dog can swim, so they don't need a life jacket."

Actually, many dogs that can swim still benefit from one.

Life jackets aren't just for dogs who can't swim.

They're useful for:

🌊 Open water swimming
🚀 Boats and paddleboards
πŸ– Beach trips
πŸ• Senior dogs
🐾 Puppies
πŸ’ͺ Dogs recovering from injury

A life jacket helps conserve energy and gives you a secure handle if your dog gets into difficulty.

Would your dog jump straight into the water...

Or spend 20 minutes barking at it first? πŸ˜‚

⏰ WHAT'S THE BEST TIME TO FEED GARDEN BIRDS? ⏰

Early morning wins every time.

After a long night, birds need to refuel quickly.

Our top tips:

πŸŒ… Top up feeders early morning
🌞 Check water during hot afternoons
πŸŒ‡ Small top-up in the evening

Bird activity is usually highest within the first few hours after sunrise.

🏑 CHOOSE THE RIGHT FEEDER 🏑

Different birds prefer different feeding styles.

🌻 Tube Feeders
Perfect for sunflower hearts and seed mixes.

πŸ› Mealworm Feeders
Ideal for robins, blackbirds and insect-loving visitors.

⚫ Suet Feeders
Great for t**s, woodpeckers and starlings.

πŸ₯£ Ground Feeding Dishes

πŸ€– Be honest...

If a robot could do ONE household job for you, what would it be?

For many cat owners, the answer is easy.

πŸ’© Scoop the litter tray.

Self-cleaning litter trays automatically separate waste from clean litter, helping reduce odours and keeping the tray cleaner between emptying.

Benefits include:

🐱 Cleaner litter for your cat
πŸ‘ƒ Less smell
🧹 Less daily maintenance
⏰ More time for the important things

Like serving your feline overlord's every demand.

Would you trust a robot with litter tray duties?
